Play It Once more, Sam is a 1972 American comedy film written by and starring Woody Allen, based on his 1969 Broadway play of the aforementioned name. The film was directed by Herbert Ross, instead of Allen, who usually directs his own written piece of work.
The film is about a recently divorced motion-picture show critic, Allan Felix, who is urged to begin dating once more past his best friend and his best friend'southward wife. Allan identifies with the 1942 film Casablanca and the character Rick Blaine as played by Humphrey Bogart. The film is liberally sprinkled with clips from the movie and ghost-like appearances of Bogart (Jerry Lacy) giving advice on how to care for women.
Plot [edit]
Set in San Francisco, Play It Again, Sam begins with the closing scenes of Casablanca, with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The primary character, Allan Felix, is seen watching the film in a movie house, mouth agape. He leaves the movie theater regretting that he will never exist like Rick.
Autonomously from apparitions of Bogart, Allan also has frequent flashbacks of conversations with his ex-married woman, Nancy, who constantly ridiculed his sexual inadequacy. Allan has simply been through a messy divorce. His best friend, Dick Christie, and Dick'south wife, Linda, try to convince him to leave with women again, setting him up on a series of blind dates, all of which turn out badly. Throughout the movie, he is seen receiving dating communication from the ghost of Bogart, who is visible and aural only to Allan. Allan'southward ex-wife Nancy too makes fantasy appearances, as he imagines conversations with her nigh the breakdown of their marriage. On one occasion, the fantasy seems to run out of control, with both Bogart and Nancy appearing.
When it comes to women, he attempts to go sexy and sophisticated, in detail he tries to be like his idol, Bogart, only to end up ruining his chances by being likewise clumsy. Eventually, he develops feelings for Linda, around whom he feels relatively at ease and does not feel the demand to put on the mask. At the indicate where he finally makes his movement on Linda (aided by comments from Bogart), a vision of his ex-wife appears and shoots Bogart, leaving him without advice. He so makes an awkward move. Linda runs off but returns, realizing that Allan loves her. The vocal "As Time Goes Past" and flashes from Casablanca accompany their kiss.
Nevertheless, their relationship is doomed, just as it was for Rick and Ilsa in Casablanca. Dick returns early on from Cleveland and confides to Allan that he thinks Linda is having an affair, not realizing that her thing is with Allan. Dick expresses to Allan his beloved for Linda.
The catastrophe is an allusion to Casablanca'due south famous ending. Dick is catching a flight to Cleveland, Linda is after him, and Allan is chasing Linda. The fog, the aircraft engine start-ups, the trenchcoats, and the dialogue are all reminiscent of the film, every bit Allan nobly explains to Linda why she has to become with her husband, rather than stay behind with him.
Allan quotes a closing line from Casablanca, maxim, "If that plane leaves the ground and y'all're not on information technology, yous'll regret it; maybe not today, perhaps not tomorrow, but before long, and for the remainder of your life." "That is beautiful", Linda says, causing Allan to admit, "It's from Casablanca. ... I've waited my whole life to say information technology!" His journey is consummate. Bogart praises him, saying that since he has learned how to exist himself now, he doesn't demand him for advice anymore. The music from the scene in Casablanca resumes the theme "As Time Goes By", and the film ends.
